SPECIFICATION terming part of Letters Patent No. 790,185, dated May 16, 1905.

I Application filed June 7, 1904. Serial No. 211,510.

To all whom, it may concern.-

Be it known that I, LAURA A. CLIMER,-a

citizen of the United States, residing at Chi-- cago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented new and useful Improvements in Calendars, of which the following is a specification. w

This invention relates to a calendar; and it consists,preferably, of a narrow strip of flexible material on one or both sides of which" is printed or otherwise applied a table 01 months, weeks, and days, the opposite side ofsaid strip being coated with a suitable ad-,

hesive substance spread thereon and dried, which when moistened is ready to be secured to a pencil, penholder, tool-handle, instrument, or other article.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a face view of my improved calendar complete. Fig. 2 represents a pencil enlarged with my calendar applied thereto.

Similar numerals indicate the same parts on. the figures.

The numeral 1 indicates a narrow strip of flexible materialsuch as paper, fabric, &c. on one side of which is printed in suitable form a calendar 2, the opposite side being coated with an adhesive substancegumarabic, for instance-for securing the strip to any suitable article. These strips will be made in different sizes and forms and the printing thereon varied to suit the taste.

The names of the months, accompanied by the name or abbreviation and number of the days of the week and of the month, areprinted on the strip in consecutive order, beginning at the bottom with January and ending with December, at the top. If desired, as when the calendar is to be used on a pencil which is gradually reduced in length by use, a less number of monthsmay be placed 011 the strip, but always by preference in the order named. By arranging the month series in this inverse order to their usual arrange ment slips embodying a lesser number than the full number of months need not be made and marketed, as when it is desired to apply a calendar-strip to a shortened pencil in any month of a year subsequent to that which would project beyond the writing end of the pencil if a full-length strip were applied thereto this may be accomplished by simply cutting ofl that portion containing those months of the year which have already passed and applying the shortened strip, as will be readily understood. This inverseorder arrangement of the months will there- When the strip is attached in Fig. 2. 'On a larger article it may be gummed thereto in a straight line. The number indicating the year in the instance shown is placed at each end of the strip.

Each end of the strip 1 is cut on an angle 3 to give an even finish when the strip is wound spirally. The ends, however, may be made straight.

A calendar-strip made substantially as represented in Fig. 1 is ready for use and may be applied by any person to a pencil or penholder by moistening the gum on the back of the strip and winding the latter aroundthe article.

Having thus described the invention, what is claimed as new is 1. A strip of flexible material adapted to be secured in a straight line or spirally wound upon a supporting object, one side of said strip adapted to be gummed or pasted to the object and the other side thereof bearing a calendar having the month series consecutively extending from the bottom to the top of the strip in inverse order, whereby the strip may be reduced in length for application to a short pencil or other object and to,

remove superfluous months at any period after the first month of the year.

,2. A strip of flexible material adapted to be secured in a straight line or spirallywound upon a supporting object, one side of said strip adapted'to be gumme'd or pasted to the object and the other side thereof bearing a 1 In testimony whereof I affix my signature calendar having the month series eonseeu- I in presence of two witnesses.

tive T extendin from the bottom to t 1e top 7 9 of th e strip in ll IVGISG order, each end of the I LAURA LIMLR' strip being cut away at an angle to give an i even finish when the strip is spirally Wound, substantially as described. i
